experience that we can trust that we know would be amazing at the job, and we want that person to be you. In fact, I want that person to be you. I’ve already booked you a ticket, in a week. If you’re interested, then please come and see me. If not, well, I’ll be disappointed, but I’ll understand.”
    I sank into the couch and let the letter fall to the floor. Grabbing the envelope, I pulled out the boarding pass for a first class flight to Los Angeles, dated about a week away. Suddenly I began to feel faint. Was this really happening? I hadn’t heard from Jonathan in a year, and he wanted me to suddenly pack my bags and go work for him? I mean, that was asking quite a lot, wasn’t it?
    Of course, there was another complication. I had a boyfriend now. Kevin was kind, thoughtful and the kind of guy you could bring home to mom. I met Kevin in college: he was getting an accounting diploma and we shared an elective class. We sat next to each other a few times, got to talking and the next thing I knew we were dating.
    Now Kevin worked for one of my clients, as a junior accountant, we shared a small apartment and were happily building our lives together. I assumed we would probably get engaged in the next year, then married and have a few kids by the time I turned thirty. After all, that’s what everyone did in this town. I was comfortable and settled in my life, happily going about my business, until this letter from Jonathan shattered everything.
    Strangely enough, a part of me considered not telling Kevin about Jonathan’s letter at all. Kevin and I told each other everything, and this was an important thing to want to keep from him. A few seconds later I decided I would tell him, but the back of my mind still nagged at me that my instinct was to keep it away from Kevin. Why was I doing that? Why had I even considered hiding the letter from Kevin? Was it because I secretly still loved Jonathan? Surely not. I couldn’t still love him. He’d ripped my heart apart at the lake all those years ago, I couldn’t still love him.
    The one thing I had never told Kevin about was my love for Jonathan. He knew everything else about me: how I cried every night for a month when my parents got divorced, how I felt guilty about taking Katina Lowry’s favourite doll in Kindergarten after she was mean to me, how much I hated being chubby in high school. Everything. Except for Jonathan.
    I broached the topic that night as we ate dinner in front of the TV. I didn’t really know how to bring it up, so I just went for it:
    “Hey, I got a letter from Sally’s brother today, offering me a gig in LA.”
    Kevin’s attention immediately turned from the sitcom we were watching to me.
    “Really? That guy from Knight Blindness?”
    I nodded. “Yeah, you know that scandal they just had, well it turns out it was the head of their PR that leaked the story to get them more attention, so they fired the firm and need someone else. He wrote me offering me the job, complete with a first class plane ticket to LA next week.”
    “Are you going to take it?”
    “Well no, I wasn’t really going to. After all, we have a life here together.” It wasn’t strictly true, I had to admit a part of me really wanted to see Jonathan, as much as I tried to deny it. He was still my first love, after all, even if he’d broken my heart.
    “But Sara, of course you have to take it. This is the opportunity of a lifetime! Can you imagine how much money you could make, how famous you would be in the PR world if you did it, even for a year or two? You could annihilate your student loan debt, you could start saving for things, like maybe a wedding in the future, that sort of thing.”
    I had to admit, I was touched by Kevin’s reaction. I had expected him to be lukewarm about the idea at best, since obviously it would mean the two of us being apart for quite some time.
    “But what about us? I mean, what’s going to happen if I go to LA?”
    Kevin took my hands
